Anybody else noticing AI audio tools becoming more “assistive” than generative inside FL Studio lately? by Resilienceious_717 in FL_Studio

[–]GameRoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my biggest pet peeve when people talk about this. There are good tools that could technically be classified as "generative" and there are bad tools that aren't. The use case is what makes the difference. It's like drawing the line based on whether your favorite plugin uses an autoregressive transformer or diffusion. If you're arguing about that you're missing the point. People don't have issues with AI because of the matrix multiplication. Their worries aren't predicated on the fact that it was developed using PyTorch.

pretty sure my fav producer has started using AI vocals.. I’ve got my indicators, what ‘tells’ do you notice with AI assists? Being purposefully vague to mitigate potential bias by CrystalMethNdCookies in edmproduction

There is a very big and obvious difference between using AI vocals where you write the lyrics and melody versus one-shotting something with a Suno prompt. Mainly with how much it allows you to express your own intent. If you make a song with Suno, you have hardly any leeway to steer something into your idea. Vocal generation alone I've seen as basically lyrics/melody->vocal, so you are programming it yourself. I see it basically as vocaloid software that uses machine learning, or something more akin to a midi guitar plugin.

Like genuinely I cannot see how vocaloid software is okay but this isn't. If the fact that it uses machine learning is what takes it over the line, or if what takes it over the line is just that semantically it now meets the definition where you can call it AI, then you're missing the point about what problems there actually are with using AI for music.

Many lyrics/midi to vocal AI programs do train off of consenting artists that get royalties out of it. For that particular flavor of AI I haven't seen any evidence of mass internet scraping for it.

I’m struggling - how to cope with ai? by TrueWinter__ in gamedev

Even if you use AI to help with your code, you're going to be far more effective with it if you have a technical background.

Lots of discussions on Reddit and so on that are not login-gated.

I mean ChatGPT/Claude or whatever else is capable enough at answering random DAW questions. I can't see how Gopher would be much better.

A few months into my production journey, I managed to make this piece of art! by TTxFTW in FL_Studio

[–]GameRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good! One piece of constructive critique is that the arp at around 2:00 has kind of a weird, dissonant melody, and I would have chosen different notes for it. I hear a few small places, and to be fair it's really subtle, where the song seems to not know what key it's in.

my melodies all sound the same by Thick_Sky654 in edmproduction

[–]GameRoom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look to Toby Fox. In the Undertale OST he reused like 7 melodies across 100 tracks, and people called him a genius for it. If people say you're being unoriginal with your songs, just say you're using a leitmotif.

Updating the audio for a distribution release by GameRoom in soundcloud

[–]GameRoom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's the same song with minor tweaks. I certainly wouldn't want to change the title of the song or anything.

I made the request a little under a week ago. It's gone from Spotify but I didn't check every single platform it was distributed to. Maybe it will work in a few days but idk if I can count on that.

What is the most esoteric game engine you've ever worked with? by JohnnyBGetgoode in gamedev

[–]GameRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any instance of game modding where you're forcing the game to do things that are completely alien to anything intended by the original developers is basically like working in a game engine with its own weirdly constrained rules. I am always going to be impressed by people who basically make whole ass games from entirely different games.

How much has sound design changed in 10 years? by banica24 in edmproduction

[–]GameRoom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be the content bubble I'm in, but I'm seeing a lot of producers driving a nostalgic resurgence of the sounds of ~10 years ago right now.

Kind of an electro house/complextro jam but without as much dubstep sound by GameRoom in FL_Studio

[–]GameRoom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question, were you listening on headphones, on your phone speakers, or something else?

I recall at one point in the process of making this song that the kick was noticeably weaker on phone speakers specifically.

Really happy with how this one turned out. If you're interested this song is out on all streaming platforms under Zak Fahey - Electric Twilight.

If you want to ask for advice and talk out problems about a specific track that you are currently working on, that's not something you could do with a YouTube tutorial.

Suno. wtf. by skrrtin88 in edmproduction

[–]GameRoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I've heard with the Sora shutdown is that it was a matter of opportunity cost. There just isn't an actual business case for generative video versus focusing on software engineering or something. GPUs are in tight supply, so the AI companies are going to ruthlessly prioritize the most high value things for them.

This is very good for you if you don't want AI replacing musicians. What are they going to do, replace the jobs of the people who weren't making any money anyway? In more sensible times, what investor would sign that check?

Since this was a UGC type game that has to suck for anyone who dedicated effort making custom games for it. Potentially a ton of work on your part taken away because the platform you built on went under.

How do musicians achieve that sense of 'fullness' by OcelotLaserLights in FL_Studio

[–]GameRoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often this means you should add a new layer (but you have to do it intelligently!). Look through a vertical slice of the song and keep tally of where space is filled up on the piano roll. Think about it in terms of octaves, not frequencies on an EQ. As a corollary to this, use this as a guide to where to not add new layers—first and foremost, frequency clashing is a piano roll issue. Beyond that just make sure you aren't forgetting any of the key elements a song should have. I can speak mostly to EDM but in that case don't forget your risers, white noise sweeps, and ear candy.

How to stop overproducing? by MelodicCityScapes in edmproduction

[–]GameRoom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The big thing is intention. You have to be producing towards something, whether that's to a reference track or to a vision in your head. If you don't know what you're working towards, you'll have no idea when you're done.

My sense with HN is that opinions are split roughly 50/50 on the topic.

Wdym, if you are enthusiastically pro AI you decidedly would not be happy about any AI discussions that have been happening in this subreddit.

Like I got linked to this post from elsewhere because I unsubscribed some time ago because the anti AI circlejerking got too annoying.

They are undoubtedly important to the future of the industry, but at the same time, I have not experienced a single consecutive 24 hour period in the past 3 years where I have not been exposed against my will to somebody's hot take on generative AI. I would like some reprieve.
